So what I am amazed at is that everyone is pissed off at how they are sleeping on the gravestones....

My actual bigger concern is the complete lack of work being done that they are paid for.

I saw 2 weeks ago a gang of 10+ that were supposed to cut grass in a park
After a whole day maybe 25% was done.
The park was not big :/

I'm not surprised that those that take so little pride in their work that they would sleep on the job also have no respect for the dead.

Truly sad. The lack of self-discipline in this country is incredible.

This is of grave concern.

The locals moan like hell when we employ the guys from zim / malawi to work in our houses and gardens. All i can say is that there is a reason for that... And no, it isnt to underpay them

Sleeping on the gravestone of a dead person sounds like the premise for a B grade horror movie.

We should start a GoFundMe and help the Okes out
Better sleeping idea

This is of grave concern.

These 'workers' must have been dead tired.

These 'workers' must have been dead tired.

Dead useless as well...
But maybe they are just connecting with their ancestors...

Apart from perceived laziness, what exactly is the outrage about?

Last I checked, the dead have no rights.

Its a basic respect thing....

There is a significant chance that these are people who would get all uppity if you insulted their ancestors and all that, but its ok for them to take a kip on someones grave? Fsck no, they must fsck off and do some work.

Fsck no, they must fsck off and do some work.

Let them sleep They work so hard the stress may send them to an early grave

 

[Baise]

Is anyone here actually shocked - like really.
This is par for the course these days - Zero management and accountability.

I think its more like all that chow might send them to an early grave....

In all seriousness though a part of me is not even surprised. We've sunk so low in our societies moral compass

It doesn't surprise me, but the disrespect of the action makes me angry.

Personally I'm not a fan of this burying people concept.. its a waste of space in my opinion. BUT many people do want to do that, and spend untold sums of money for it.. to then have your loved ones resting place disrespected by some halfwit fscktard is just not on.

 

[RazedInBlack]

Why are there still graves in anycase? Don't they know about cremations?

Keep in mind, it's also not free. You have to pay to have a plot and maintenance is part of that.

As others have said, simple respect.... they have none and should be fired to go sleep in their beds.
